Abstract—The paper presents an emulation architecture working in the user space useful to implement and test routing protocols for ad hoc networks. The emulator creates an interface with the Simple Ad hoc siMulator (SAM) [1], where many routing protocols are present. The novelty with respect to SAM is the possibility to test the routing protocols with a real exchange of signaling and data packets between the hosts present in the network. With respect to a wireless live test, the emulator works on hosts connected each other via wired links and the wireless channel is simulated. To test the tool, many emulation trials have been performed by considering a simple routing protocol, and the final results are compared with those obtained by simulations.
